Finger Lakes Wine Festival tickets available

Ithaca Journal

Tickets for the Finger Lakes Wine Festival are now available online.

The festival will be held Friday through Sunday, July 17-19, at Watkins Glen International. The celebration kicks-off Friday evening at 6 p.m. with fireworks, wine, and togas at “Yancey’s Fancy Cheese Launch of the Lakes.” Saturday and Sunday the Festival will open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., featuring a variety of wine and food and arts and crafts from across the state, culinary classes, cooking demonstrations, wine seminars, live entertainment and much more.

Camping on Festival grounds, shuttle service to area hotels, and plenty of free parking are also available.

Wine tasters can find the link to purchase at tickets.com through www.FLWinefest.com spCQ or at www.TheGlen.com spCQ but will find a new streamlined and simple way to make their online purchase.

Tickets.com provides a very straightforward approach to viewing the tickets and available camping, finding up-to-date prices, and making a final purchase. Tasters can still save up to $10 per ticket by taking advantage of Advance Sale prices until June 26. Two-day taster’s passes are only $35 and weekend camping is also still available at the same price. Wine enthusiasts looking to take advantage of the new 50/50 Payment Plan, where you can pay half now and half later, should call (866) 461-7223 spCQ instead of ordering online.
